Unlocking the Blackberry P9982

How to enter the Unlocking Code for a BlackBerry Model

General Information about the BlackBerry unlocking codes

When you receive your code it will be in one of two formats (depending on your model)

1: A single string of 4 or 5 long numbers or
2: Again a string of numbers, but with some identifying letters between them (EG MEP/NCK etc)

If you receive format 1, then these are simply 4 or 5 codes that need to be tried. (So when you are asked to enter the unlocking code, you need to try each one, starting with the 1st).

If you receive format 2, then please refer to the table below for your code.

Here's an example of how your code will break down:


TypeExampleMEP
IMEI: 351238034369xxx n/a
SIM Code: 6123343501466xxx MEP1
NCK Code: 7123039679046xxx MEP2
Subset Code: 123211566752xxx MEP3
Prov Code: 8261232688272xxx MEP4
Corp Code: 3851231232390xxx MEP5




Note: BlackBerry in 90% of countries will only require the MEP2 code
We suggest you copy codes to a notepad and enter them very carefully.


Please make sure the wireless mode is turned off before attempting to unlock your Blackberry phone

FAQ:

Question: My phone asks to enter a PIN number
Answer: For SIM cards with PIN ENABLED you will be required to enter a PIN. This is not the unlocking code that has just been provided. For information concerning the PIN, PIN2, PUK and PUK2 codes for a SIM card please read the manual that came with your phone. This is NOT a handset unlocking difficulty.

Question: My handset displays a different message to what is shown when I insert a Non Vodafone Australia SIM card.
Answer: The most common message the phone will display is 'Invalid SIM card'. Because each handset may have a different variation in software there is no common message. If your handset displays a different message it is recommended to move onto the next step. Note: Faulty SIM Cards - The handset may also display messages indicating the SIM you are using to unlock the handset is faulty, it could display 'Insert SIM' 'Bad Card', 'Card Error' or 'Card Rejected', confirm the SIM card is correctly inserted, the gold area downwards and the cut of the corner matches correctly. You will need a working Non Vodafone SIM card to unlock the handset.
